I was directly taking on a ludicrous point Old Boy blaming working people and not politicians for the state this country is in. I’ll happily say it’s 40 years of economic failure if that helps, covering “both sides”.
The whataboutery serves nobody well. And if anything only makes these threads more adversarial than they need to be by playing the man and not the ball. My points are extremely valid responding to the post it did.

I don’t care who you were specifically talking to, I’m talking to you. You attack the Tories, the party I support and paint how shit they are, I’ll add balance by saying how just as shit, Labour are, at not reigning in corruption. If you don’t like it, tough luck.
I’ve conceded many times how bad Trump can be & how much he can be an idiot, go look it up, so that crap accusation won’t wash. Crucially - it’s absolutely nothing to do with this topic either. So stay on it.
